I have gotten corporal punishment and I am fine (well kinda, but that isn't because of corporal punishment).

As I said before, one of my friends was molested and she turned out great. Does this mean child molestation should be legal?

Molestation is a whole different thing buddy. No one deserves that. When I see kids acting up and the mom is just standing there and telling them to stop, the kid keeps going..you know why? Because they can. Because they know their mom will do nothing. Mothers and Fathers are really not doing so good today and while corporal punishment may not be the answer it can help sometimes. You don't have to go too far though. It may cause some other side effects though...

I'm just saying that it may be harmful regardless of one case. Studies show that many kids become more aggressive for being hit or spanked. If Violent video could make someone a little less desensitize, imagine what taking a belt to a child would do? If anything, hitting your child is a temporary fix that if repeated could lead to disastrous results in development. Hitting a child doesn't calm them down, it instills fear. Is it really healthy to rule through fear? Sorta Machiavellian if you think about it.

I get what you are saying..I think I am more violent and aggressive because of spankings or whatever you wanna call it. It isn't really temporary fix to me either..once I get spanked for something I never do it again (maybe..)...it does make me scared of my mom SOMETIMES, but she doesn't go too far and if she does I can tell it is an accident, so I am not really scared of her. It should only instill ACTUAL fear if the parent goes too far, but then again the kid can be more sensitive or can hold grudges or something. I am only actually scared of my mom when I know I did something wrong or stupid and she catches me doing it or finds out. It can harmful sometimes, but talking and grounding doesn't work on everyone...so it would be a good idea to do certain punishments depending on the child, but then again that can cause bad sibling rivalry if one kids gets spankings and the other doesn't.

I've seen parents go after their children with belts and fly swatters. I wonder if they are punishing the child or taking out their frustration. Though I imagine DCFS showing up with police in tow threatening to arrest the parents for child abuse might have an effect.

Also operant conditioning does not require pain, it was just the easiest negative feedback to give an animal.

I was slapped as a child for doing shit that I shouldn't have been doing. And I have grown to be a responsible and well rounded adult. I generally think the reason there's so much gang violence in the UK is due to a lack of discipline from parent to child.

Fine do away with corporal punishment but if you cant control you kids allow the state to claim them. Better for the state to control them than useless parents. I see so many kids have no respect for authority, bloated egos, and believing they deserve the world. At what point do you say enough is enough? I see parents tell they kids to calm down and all the brats do is scream and curse. Nothing tells me more that they shouldn't be parents if they can't control their kids during a movie or a restaurant.
Someone tell me how you would handle this

watch these videos and tell me what you would do if these were you kids

Keep in mind that I am not trying to say that discipline and justice are wrong. I am also not trying to offend people, it is reality.

I have fucking had it with Corporal Punishment, I tried my very best to fucking stop the gun violence but Corporal Punishment itself has fucked up the mind and made people do fucking gun violence, etc....
Corporal Punishment did forced people to be aggressive, which as all 100% completely fucking fucked up/fucking retarded. However, inside themselves [motions, mind changes, feelings etc..] I can see that when the child, teen, baby, adult, pet, etc.. is being forced to follow the rules, that person is not respectful and loving at all. How? When they were first corporally punished, they were either not do it again or continue to misbehave. I can see that they really have sad feelings, angry feeling, misbehavior, and negative effects that were still inside and denied that can see inside themselves, secretly hidden, and guess what? They decided to forget about the physical harm that hurt them and therefore, because you told them to move forward. You'll have tp look at their true colors and real feelings and yours, etc.. too in your mind. Corporal Punishment did not work. Corporal Punishment was created by misleading bible translations that were made in the old generation in the 10th century, which caused slavery. imagine if you were thinking about the time you were corporally punished by anyone including parents, etc.., and you cried about, you think about it over and over again, and then you want to hurt somebody, because it pissed you the fuck off? All forms of all Corporal Punishment needs to no longer ever exist, even rather if the galaxy comes to an end, the galaxy will never end, or even after the galaxy ended, in schools, media, home, public, etc..
